• Clingy Kids; Are They Cute or Killing Our Sanity?
    May 1 2025

    If your child treats you leaving the room like a national emergency, this one’s for you. We’re diving into clingy behaviour — why it happens, when it’s normal, when it’s not, and what you’re actually supposed to do when you’re being followed 24/7. No fluff, no fake advice, just honest talk about toddler stage-five clingers, parental burnout, and how to survive it with your sanity (mostly) intact.

  • Mum guilt and the art of not caring
    Apr 25 2025

    In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster that is mum guilt. You know the one — that nagging voice that tells you you’re not doing enough, even when you’re running on fumes and caffeine. Whether it’s screen time shame, comparing yourself to Insta-perfect parents, or just trying to pee alone without someone banging on the door — we’ve all been there. Let’s unpack the unrealistic pressures, laugh at the madness, and remind ourselves that good enough really is good enough. This one’s for every mum who’s ever questioned if she’s getting it right (spoiler: you are).

  • Easter, Instagram and Insanity!
    Apr 17 2025

    This week, we’re unwrapping the truth behind Easter as a modern mom—because it’s not all pastel perfection and Pinterest-worthy baskets. From 5AM sugar-fueled meltdowns to the pressure of posting the “perfect” family photo, we’re talking raw, hilarious reality.


    We dig into the real stats (like how much we actually spend on Easter), laugh at some epic listener fails (ant-filled eggs, anyone?), and ask the big question: Do our kids even care about the aesthetic? Spoiler: nope.


    So pour yourself a mimosa—or a cold coffee you’ve reheated three times—and let’s talk about the chaos, the comparison trap, and the small wins that really matter.


    Because this Easter, we’re choosing presence over Pinterest.

  • Mum brain or ADHD?
    Apr 4 2025

    Motherhood is chaotic. ADHD makes it next-level. If you’ve ever found your coffee in the microwave (again), forgotten why you walked into a room, or turned a last-minute school project into an Olympic-level challenge—welcome to the club!


    In this episode, we dive into the hilarious, frustrating, and all-too-relatable realities of being a mum with ADHD. From the never-ending cycle of “I’ll do it later” to the true struggle of helping kids with homework when you barely survived school yourself, we’re unpacking it all.

    If you need a laugh, a little validation, and a reminder that you’re not failing (even if your laundry pile says otherwise), this episode is for you.
